A guy shot people in Luik, Belgium. 3 people died, I don't know how many people were injured, but I do know the shooter died too. The news said that that man was arrested for illegally owning guns, he had a rocket-launcher and an Avtomat Kalasjnikov. Why would he do that?...Permalink

Anyone have any advice for making stopmotion? Do you use any specific programs?

I have a few tips! First, you need a tripod. Pretty much a must. I recommend the Gorillapod, which is a mini tripod that can wrap around objects and go at tons of angles. Second, you need a good lighting setup, but not an outdoors one, since the light will change over time. I'd say your setup for MOCs is good enough already. Also, you need to be patient. Lack of this causes loss of hair and sanity. Finally, if you are looking for a good program, use Frame by Frame. It's free, easy to use, and straight to the point. Hope this helps! :)Permalink

Well, I'd hate to quote a movie, but it's the best answer I've got. Some people just want to see the world burn.
Maybe he was going insane or he was so angry he didn't know how to cope with it. We'll probably never know.Permalink

Are you gonna start stop-motion? I think you should because it is a very fun and rewarding experience. Just make sure you are patient and take your time. I have learned this from my YouTube videos. Let me know if you make them, I'd love to see them when they are done!Permalink

I've never really been a fan of Stopmations. The ones that are done well are good. The ones I would make though would have me ripping out hair. I have the patience to make a stopmotion, but the patience for accidents, not going to happen. I also was wondering, why can't I add you as a frienfd on YouTube? I was looking for the thing but never found it where it should be.Permalink

I can spend months on a 1/72 model, build huge rc aircraft, and spend my entire day fiddling with legos to get a curve right, ...but stopmotion...never...Permalink

I used iStopmotion. It's a good program for people that are new to stopmotion. The only problem with it is that I don't know how to turn off flash on the camera or computer. But that could be the camera I'm using but I don't know. I used to do stopmotion but now I don't do it anymore. I want to get back into it but I thought it was pointless if you can't turn off the flash because the video will look horrible. Permalink

I think you need to click "Add as Contact" because that's were the "Add as Friend" icon used to be. I think it changed when YouTube got the new layout.Permalink

I'm at my contacts and it's not there. You are there, but it does not say you are a friend or anything else. But that's with all my contacts. Maybe you are a friend but I don't know it. I hate the new YouTube set up. Loads of confusion. When it asked for my opinion and asked what was wrong I said, "Everything. Why would you change a set up that was perfect to follow?" I don't mind color changes and some very minor changes but when a new set up is introduced, it's too much. Everyone doesn't like it but the only ones who send feedback that they listen to give positives. We're stuck with it and I'm upset.Permalink

alright, my American pal. the weather here is shocking (raining all week- New Zealand is covered by clouds, true to the native name for the country, Aetearoa, "Land of the long white cloud".) and it's meqant to be summer!?!?!?! h@te this bl@sted weather! you?Permalink

It's winter here, but we've had some nice weather, some rotten too though.
Is it weird having Christmas in the summer, while most of the rest of the world has it in the winter? Or does it just seem completely normal?Permalink

In the Southern Hemisphere, it is summer. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter. This is because of the Earth's axis being angled. It stays facing the same direction so when Earth revolves around the sun, which ever end is more towards the sun, the warmer it is. That's why we have seasons and they are opposites depending on which hemisphere is where.Permalink

Funny! Ok since you said that, this conversation is going to be awkward (you're going to say something that won't make it but if you don't it will)

Well, I'm in the process of making a revamp of my Sentonikku (St. Nickolas) Domo. It's working pretty well. He's going to have a Naughty Cannon and a Nice Cannon. The Naughty one will shoot coal and the Nice one will shoot presents. Oh, and thanks for calling me a favorite. You are my 50th person to favorite. So thank you so much.Permalink

Oh no problem, you're a great builder and a lot more people should add you! I can't wait for the St.Nickolas Domo, all of the ones you have made in the past! I am working a little battle scene in the North Pole (though I doubt you care).

Not true. I will look at it. I just need to be aware it has made its debut. Also, I don't know what you mean by, "I can't wait for the St.Nickolas Domo, all of the ones you have made in the past!" What?Permalink

So true, that happens to me all the time and since I have to use my computer all school it happens all the more so!

Yeah, sometimes I feal $tupid when that happens. I aslo don't like how we can't say $tupid. I get it, but the scanner should have the ability to comprehend the content of the comment rather than just seeing words and flag them.Permalink

THAT would involve very complex programming. The computer would have to be able to read and comprehend a sentence, even with bad grammar of LOLspeak. Then it would have to make a judgement, which would require thought. It would need to be updated constantly based on slang, too.Permalink

Hmm... I'll have to take a look at it this weekend if I have time. I not quite familiar with the dumb layout yet, so I'll experiment around and try to figure out how to friend you. Permalink

I have a question to ask you. Since I couldn't find any info about this on the internet I thought I would come to you because I KNEW you would know. On Halo: Anniversary, does it have forge and the option to make your own avatar? I hope I don't waste your time or anything but just curious.Permalink

Well, I got a kid in my class who is pretty much a talking monkey trapped in a human body. He talks really ret~arded (so is his laugh, "UHUHUHUHUH") and he puts everything he has in his mouth. Maybe to mark his territory, lol. You can also tell him to stop with something annoying a thousand times, he will just laugh and look at you in his ret~arded way! Oh, and the most disgusting thing of all: He puts his finger all the way up his nose, takes some snot out of it, and... eats it. Yes, he does. Aweful.Permalink

Oh, I just got my first bricklink order. I got some wheels, rims, and 2 cockpits that are like 6 studs wide and curved like this (
My second order should get here soon, it's pretty big XD

You guys are so lucky. I don't really know how to use Bricklink and it seems supsicious because they ask for your address and credit card whenever you sign up. IT seems like they should ask you that whenever you place an order.Permalink

Well, how else are they going to get your pieces to you? You have to pay somehow and they need to give you your pieces in order to make a good name for themselves.Permalink

Is that so whenever you make a whole bunch of orders you don't have to type all that in? Only you fill it in once?

I think it's like that. You type in your address and the standard payment device you would like to use. Than after you sign in and make an order, you can sign in again to varify you are ordering and say use standard address and payment or make some changes this time. It's like that on lego.com, so it might be on Bricklink.Permalink

That's true for nearly EVERY website where anything is bought/sold.

Not really. For example. On the Brickarms website you add stuff to your cart then you pay and type in all your info. With Bricklink it seems different. It sounds like Bricklink keeps your information while Brickarms doesn't.Permalink

Why are you even here? You are 8, last I checked you are not a TFOL... But well last I checked you needed to be 13 to be a teen hmmm weird this world is going nuts. Seth, you should make this group so you need approval to join that way it is ONLY TFOL's because looks like kiddies are joining.

No, that's what makes the TFOLPC bad. Now you have to be invited. I never wanted to join anyway. You also know that really anyone is aloud in this group, right? Seth is still 12 and LWC guy was 12 for the longest time and they were here when the group started. It is a bit of a stretch, but as long as he doesn't do that stuff I told him earlier, you practically won't even know he's here.Permalink

Ok you should re-name the group to eXtreame fans of lego then it makes more sense

No. A teen is technically anyone with double digits from 11-20 so yeah. If you want to get rid of him, then spam him for all I care, get hated on yourself. I'm not going to kick him off for no good reason, and if you have a problem, then leave, although that would be a waste of your time, so just ignore him.Permalink

Yes. The common belief is that he is eight years old and he asked if anyone wanted him to leave. I'm defending him because as of now, he's not spamming or being cl0n3/h@l0 kiddie so there really is no reason for him to leave. He also wasn't getting any bad rep from anyone either except for when he first joined.Permalink
